You know these original kurdish tattoos badly need to be documented for future generation .
Thats our Hurrian culture living through them.
I am not sure if it has to do with Hurrians. When I first saw it I thought it has something to do with "satanism" because of the jagged motives

till I got older and red more about it. Than I found out that almost the same tattoos were used by Scythians too and for the same reasons. (protection from bad eyes and ghosts).

Later I found out that Croatians have also tattoos, they even have exactly the same symbols.

Later I found out that Celts were also known to have tattoos all over their bodies.
And than recently when I was watching a movie " The Ring of the Nibelungs". I was surprised and stunned to see exactly the same tattoos on exactly the same body parts (hands, fingers, arms, face ) of the actress playing an old Viking woman.

I dont know if the Vikings did really have such tattoos or if its just coincidence what I dont believe. I am curious if Central Asians do also have such tattoos.
Since Celts, Vikings, Scythian and today Kurds and Croatians have this culture it must have something to do with a common origin. If the Hurrians did also have these tattoos than this could only mean that they had more to so with Indo-European origin as we thought before.
